U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Christopher Borghese, left, an ordnance chief, and Cpl. Cheyanne Magana, an aviation ordnance technician with Marine Fighter Squadron (VMFA) 242, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, talk about ordnance procedures before an ordnance load as a part of Talisman Sabre 25, aboard the amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), in the Coral Sea, July 14, 2025. Marines with VMFA 242 arm F-35Bs with multi-discipline strike capabilities to support combined-joint all domain operations in key maritime terrain. Talisman Sabre is the largest bilateral military exercise between Australia and the United States advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific by strengthening relationships and interoperability among key allies and partners, while enhancing our collective capabilities to respond to a wide array of potential security concerns. Magana is a native of Nevada and Borghese is a native of Indiana. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Peter Rawlins)
